DescriptionNVD

A flaw was found in gimp. This buffer overflow vulnerability in the GIF image loading component's ReadJeffsImage function allows an attacker to write beyond an allocated buffer by processing a specially crafted GIF file. This can lead to a denial of service or potentially arbitrary code execution.

AnalysisAI

Buffer overflow in GIMP's GIF image loading component allows arbitrary code execution when a victim opens a specially crafted GIF file. This local‑attack vulnerability (CVSS 3.1: AV:L/PR:N/UI:R) can lead to full compromise of the user's session. No public exploit has been identified, and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.01 %).

Technical ContextAI

The flaw resides in the ReadJeffsImage function of GIMP's internal GIF parser (CWE‑120: Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input). When a malformed GIF is processed, insufficient bounds checking allows a write beyond the allocated buffer. The CPE strings indicate the vulnerability affects GIMP packages shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, 8, and 9; the underlying GIF parsing code is part of GIMP's core image‑loading routines.

RemediationAI

Upgrade the gimp package to the version provided in the Red Hat errata for your RHEL release. The patch is available from the vendor; see advisory https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-6384. Until patching is complete, restrict GIF processing by avoiding opening GIF files from untrusted sources, noting that this mitigates the threat but does not remove the underlying vulnerability.
